How to Multiple Choice Field + text

Can we create a multiple choice field AND allow the user to enter explanatory text, e.g., Check if you have:
Food Allergies. Decribe:

What you want for this is to use skip (show/hide) logic. This way only if they answer Yes would they see the other field (paid subscription feature).
The skip and show/hide logic is explained here:

Placing lines of text beside multiple choice field in form

I want to place single lines of text beside the multiple choice field in this form (as drawn above) instead of one box of text. Is this possible?

Sharepoint designer workflow: condition on multiple choice field

Hello,
basically I want a set of actions based on the selection of a user saved in a multiple choice field.
For instance, the column named "Choices" has the possible values: Car, Bike, Bus, Plane
So i want a condition to check for the values that were selected (in pseudocode)
IF Choices contains "Car" then ....
IF Choices contains "Bike" then ....
IF Choices contains "Bus" then ....
IF Choices contains "Plane" then ....
But in the designer when i tried to implement such a condition, im not able to write this structure.
I can select the column in the if clause but then i can only select "equals" and "not equals" instead of "contains"
Moreover, the when I choose the related string as value it is not saved.
How can I implement this (normally simple condition) in SharePoint designer?

Hi
use a calculated column, to set deppending on your chocie column with IF statement , next use that new calculated column in your next steps

I cannot even reference a multiple choice field in a calculated column. A workflow to copy the vlaue does not help neiter:
Multiple Value Column Text Column
Auto,Roller,Motorrad,LKW ->
{"__metadata":{"type":"Collection(Edm.String)"},"results":["Auto","Roller","Motorrad","LKW"]}

Responses aren't accurate.. Multiple Choice Field

I need some guidance/help. I am using 'Multiple Choice Field's in FormCentral and I have inspectors completing forms and submiting responses. The issue is, if they make a choice selection and then change it, any and all changed come through to the responses, not just the one(s) they had selected at the time of submission. I can not have accidently selected items that where changed before submission coming through as if it were still selected.

Could you please add me as a Co-author to your form so I can take a look at it? My account is [email protected]

Multiple choice fields

I would like to be able to use the rating scale as a multiple choice feild, so I can check multiple selections.

Hi;
If you are asking to be able to select more than one "rating" accross that is not supported (as I am sure you found), but I'd think you can achieve something functionally similar using rows of Multi-select fields and changing the formatting on them so that they have labels left or right, and uncheck the "Stack vertically" so that the choices are in a row, rows of fields could make rough columns (you could label the choices in just the top row/field or in all, same labels in all would align all of the rows choices). I know it would not be as ideal as in a table, there would be unnecessary space and things might not line up as well, but with some manipulation it could work.
Thanks,

How to read Choice Field values in a Formula of ohter shrepoint field

Hi,
i want to read choice field values(total values) in formula of other sharepoint calculated column field.
Can anyone please help me.
Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep

Hi,
According to your description, you might need to set the value of a column with the option from a Choice Field based on the value of another column(Site Column 1).
The OOTB Calculated Formulas doesn’t provide such functionality to read the options of a Choice Field, we can do it via SharePoint JavaScript Client Object Model instead.
Here is a documentation about SharePoint JavaScript Client Object Model :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/hh185006(v=office.14).aspx
An articel about using SharePoint JavaScript Client Object Model with steps in detail for your reference:

SQL Dealing with multiple choice answers in a DB with no unique identifier

I am working with a Database that has forms set up with multiple select fields. As seen below, (Question_ID 2533) the Patient_ID, Visit_ID, and Question_ID are the same and there are 3 different answers that were chosen. I am trying to figure
out how to seperate these Multiple answers so I can use SSRS to pull them into seperate fields. I believe I know how to use SSRS to pull the data after I have differentiated each answer. I need help with the SQL code...
Patient_ID   Visit_ID Form_ID   Question_ID   Answer_ID     Answer
124            1685       164         2533             1490

678                Good

I was able to get the unique identifier by creating a new table using the ROW_NUMBER()OVER and PARTITION BY Functions. Then I was able to identify each answer of the multiple choice fields. Here is the full code.

if :p3_note_id is null
then
insert into notes (project_id, note, notes_month, notes_year) So, p3_note_id is NULL.
Another option is that you have a trigger on table NOTES that generates a new note_id even for an update.

How to get the text of a multiple-choice response

If call report-quiz-interactions,
i got only the response value.
<row display-seq="1" transcript-id="2007071200" interaction-id="2007027923" sco-id="2007071193" score="0">
<name>jazz doe</name> <sco-name>Thursday Meeting</sco-name> <date-created>2006-08-03T12:29:09.687-07:00</date-created> <description>What is your favorite color?</description> <response>4</response>
</row>
in this example it is number 4. But how can i find the text behind the answer ? Like blue or red etc.
Any idea?
/jörg

Curious here, too. Seems that the system integrating with Connect might want be able to discover the answer text values also. Possibly some action that would return the poll questions and available answer selections for the meeting/seminar to be mapped back to user responses?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Populate a Floating Field from Multiple Choices in a Drop Down List

Hi, folks, it's been a while which means things have been going smoothly. But what I'm trying to do at the moment has me stumped.
I have a form that was originally made with a long section of checkboxes that our agents would check if the answers applied to the client's case. This meant that the client had a whole bunch of information that didn't apply to them on the form so I thought would be clearer for the client if the agent would select only those items that pertained to them in a List Box. I used a List Box for multiple choices because several choices could apply to their case. And I wanted those selections to relayout to a floating text field in a paragraph but for the life of me, I can't seem to make that happen. I tried switching to a Drop Down Field and that allows only one selection to relayout.
The paragrah reads "To proceed, we need the following information or the documents identified below:" and then the 15 items would be listed with the checkboxes.
Any suggestions as to how I should do this?

What if you leave them as checkboxes and just put a pre-print event in each of the 15 items to make them visible or hidden based on their value?

How do I make a text field expand in depth so I can see it in print?

I am totally new to making forms in Designer. So please bear with me.
I created a simple form for teachers to use as an evaluation tool. A question is asked on the form, and the teachers have space to reply in the text field just below.
The trouble is, I want the expanding field to actually "push" the content below it as the field increases in depth. That way, when users print the form for the record, their responses can be viewed in their entirety on the page.
At the moment, the text fields expand with *scrollbars,* which allow multiple lines of text -- but when you print, you only see a few lines.
How can I accomplish this?
Thanks to everyone for your help. -- Barbara

Hi Barbara,
Basically, you do it by creating a dynamic form.
WARNING: When you do this, other parts of your form may go wonkers if they're not set up carefully, so be sure and save a copy of the original first.
--Be sure your form is saved as a dynamic PDF. Check to make sure the preview type is set for Interactive (File menu > Form Properties > Defaults > Preview Type)
--Set the text field itself to "Expand to fit" (Layout palette, Height)
--Wrap it in a subform set to "Flow Content" (Object palette, Type. Also check "Allow Page Breaks within Content" on the Object palette)
--Set the main subform for the page it's on to "Flow Content" as well.
You'll still see the scroll bars, but after you exit the field it will expand the way you want it to.
You can read up on the two types of subforms in Designer Help.
Let me know if that works for you.

Text Fields of an External Content Type come across as Multiple Line of Text

In SharePoint 2013 I have an external content type that consists of a couple of short (nvarchar) fields (no more that 15 characters). When I use this ECT in a custom list the fields from the ECT end up as a "Note" type instead of "Text".
I am not sure how this happens. I have verified this by accessing the list via poweshell where I see the Type being as "Note" and also the SchemaXml showing the colName attribute as "ntext".
The strange thing is that initially when I created the web application and built my lists this was working.
Any ideas or pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that When you use the ECT in a custom list the fields from the ECT end up as a "Note" type instead of "Text".
Have you ever changed column types from "Single line of text" to "Multiple Lines of Text" in list?http://www.sharepointdiary.com/2013/09/change-column-type-in-list-using-powershell.html
External content types are made up of fields whose types are a subset of the primitive types of .NET. For each such .NET type, a rudimentary mapping to SharePoint’s field controls exists, describing a field’s visual appearance. Fields of type string for
instance will, on the new and edit forms, render as a single-line text field.
Besides, check whether the following link is useful:
